The Blow MonkeysUnion Chapel · N1
This extensive UK tour in September & October 2026 comes off the back of the band releasing their 13th studio album ‘Birdsong’. The album’s release was the first since the group signed to Creation Youth, the British independent record label launched by Alan McGee - the Creation Records founder who famously signed artists like Oasis, Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine – and producer and Killing Joke bassist Martin ‘Youth’ Glover. The latest album ‘Birdsong’ was recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios in Surrey and produced by Dr Robert, The Blow Monkeys’ lead singer Robert Howard (aka Dr Robert) is backed throughout Birdsong’s ten-tracks by fellow founding members Neville Henry (sax), Mick Anker (bass), with Crispin Taylor on drums and additional musicians such as Mick Talbot , Gina Foster and Steve Sidelnyk. Dr Robert said, “Youth is one of our closest neighbours up in the mountains near Granada, close to where I live, and I often pop in for a cup of tea. One time I was up there and I bumped into Alan McGee. I was sitting strumming an acoustic guitar and he asked if I could play Buick McKane, the old T Rex number. I did, which I think sealed the deal! He asked me to write and record a “brilliant Blow Monkey record”. I knew what he meant. The songs just poured out, almost without effort, which is always a good sign. It’s a very ‘up’ album, and deliberately so.” McGee added, “The album they recorded for Creation Youth at Paul Weller’s studio is as good as anything Dr Robert did back in the day. It’s the original line-up bar the drummer, so it’s has that unique sound that’s unmistakably The Blow Monkeys. I love this band!” After making their debut over 40 years ago, The Blow Monkeys became household names when classic singles ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’ became worldwide hits and their cover of Leslie Gore’s 1963 song ‘You Don’t Own Me’ featured on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time, ‘Dirty Dancing’. But there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours, with them possessing a relentless desire to move forward, collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the ‘80s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse. Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first home grown House records with ‘Wait’, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.

Duke SpecialUnion Chapel · N1
By nature, Duke Special (aka Belfast's Peter Wilson) is a curious person. He is curious about music, theatre, books, poetry, art, love, life, redemption, death and 78RPM records. All of this is evidenced by the variety of musical adventures throughout his career, such asreleasing 17 albums and EPs, touring extensively throughout the world, writing for theatre, and teaching songwriting and performance at BIMM University, Dublin. Performing live is still one of Duke Special's main passions. Whether he performs solo, as a duo with his long-time friend and percussionist Chip Bailey, with a full band, a string quartet or orchestra, a Duke Special show is always a unique experience. Duke is currently working on a new album. www.dukespecial.com Make your dinner reservation to eat at our Margins Cafe before the show!

Jasmine JethwaUnion Chapel · N1
Jasmine Jethwa’s music is shaped by a blend of Western and Indian influences and her South London upbringing, combining rich emotion with an instinctive sense of melody and harmony. Growing up, she was immersed in sound and movement, training from a young age in contemporary, jazz and ballet. That physical relationship to rhythm still runs through her songwriting, giving her songs a sense of momentum and emotional pull. Her earliest musical memories come from long car journeys soundtracked by artists such as David Gray, Tracy Chapman, Dido, The Eagles and the Gipsy Kings. Those records left her with a lasting love of acoustic, guitar-led music. Alongside this, watching Bollywood films with her Gujarati grandmother introduced her to Hindi melodies and vocal traditions that subtly inform her expressive vocal style. Jasmine’s songs blend folk-tinged acoustic pop with a reflective, inward-focused and honest sensibility. As she prepares her next release, she is leaning further into the mysticism that runs through her music, creating songs that feel both intimate and transportive, rooted in feeling as much as form.

Matt MathewsUnion Chapel · N1
Life rarely turns out the way we planned - and nobody knows that better than Matt Mathews. In his brand new tour, Not What I Ordered, Matt brings his unfiltered stories, wild family chaos, farm life disasters, relationships, fame, and everyday struggles to the stage with the brutally honest humor fans love him for. From awkward encounters and small-town drama to the reality of chasing dreams while trying to hold it all together, Matt proves that sometimes the best moments come from everything going completely off the rails. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and outrageously relatable, Not What I Ordered is a night of comedy that reminds us life may not give you what you expected… but it’ll definitely give you something to laugh about.
